Terms of Use

Last updated: September 30, 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply to your use of the First Journal website and the articles published on it. By reading the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Who publishes the site

First Journal is published by MEDIA MAZE LTD, company number 12259120, whose registered office is Enterprise House, The Courtyard, Bromborough, Merseyside, United Kingdom, CH62 4UE. References to “we” and “us” mean MEDIA MAZE LTD.

3. Using the site

You may read the site and its articles for your own personal use. You agree not to:

• copy, scrape or republish our articles or images without written permission;
• interfere with the site, its hosting or the way it is delivered to other readers;
• use the site in a way that breaks any law that applies to you.

4. Articles and sponsored content

Some articles are labelled Advertorial or Sponsored. These are commercial pieces: they describe a third-party service and link to that provider’s own website. Descriptions of a provider are based on what the provider publishes about itself and may change without notice. Personal accounts in an article are the writer’s own and are not a prediction of what you will experience.

5. Third-party links and services

Links on this site may take you to websites run by other companies. We do not operate those websites or the services on them, and we do not control their content, terms, eligibility rules, prices or payments. Any agreement you make with a third party is between you and that third party, and you should read that provider’s own terms before you register. More detail is on our Affiliate disclosure page.

6. No professional advice

Articles are for general information. They are not financial, tax, legal or employment advice, and they do not take your personal circumstances into account. Please see the Earnings disclaimer for how we treat income-related topics.

7. Intellectual property

The text, layout and design of the site belong to MEDIA MAZE LTD or its licensors. Names and marks of third-party companies mentioned in articles belong to their respective owners, and their use here does not imply any endorsement of us or by us.

8. Our responsibility to you

We try to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that arise from relying on an article, from a third-party website or service you reach through a link, or from the site being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute, without affecting any mandatory consumer rights you have in the place where you live.
